After recommended command

(the feedback message says:  execute 'apt-get install -f')

And then, I'm totally stuck... (loops of the same) :-(
So far for trying to upgrade my dearest program...

A miracle happened: 'all of a sudden' I had version 4.12 working, with exiv2
0.25.  And it worked fine, even maintenance (although slow).
(Unfortunately, I wouldn't know how to reproduce this.)
But then (I will save the details - probably becoz of Picasa in Wine), my disk
was irremediably full...  All methods I know (like really cleaning the bin,
removing achives of installed programs and so on...) didn't work, couldn't find
the database of Picasa... and so on...
So a complete reinstall seemed to be more timefriendly than one more search for
an unforeseen mysterious problem.
So, I did a complete reinstall.
To resume that new story (of course, I tried to install digiKam version 4.12,
wíth exiv2 0.25):  I end up with version 3.5 ánd exiv2 0.25... :-(
So I'll make a new post of this in the Ubuntu help forums (in more detail), to
get to specifically know:  how to install digiKam 4.12 in a freshly installed
Ubuntu 14.04 (after the updates the system proposes)?
Coz these instructions obviously don't work:
http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2015/08/install-latest-digikam-4-12-ubuntu/
I get messages about libkgeomap2 en kipi-plugins ('broken packages')
In the launcher I get messages about digikam-data.  (And it only worked by
excluding the repositories of philip5 and kubuntu-backports.  But then I needed
to reinclude them, to get exiv2 0.25 instead of 0.23).  And so on...  Needless
to say:  this is all very frustrating... :-(

But then, when I restarted the program, no more Digikam...  Same problem...
And excluding the repositories doesn't help...  Same problem with launcher...
So totally blocked... no version at all...

Back to version 3.5, exiv2 0.25.

Regarding exiv2 (for whoever that might benefit from it, struggling with
similar exiv2-related issues).
What I would have liked to hear from someone (at least, this is something that
seems to work):
- Install Synaptic Package Manager from launcher (Ubuntu Software Center)
- Search for exiv2
- In menu:  choose Package/Force Version (to choose version 0.25)
- Apply

Somehow I managed to install version 4.13, but I don't know if it's
reproducible.

So with Ubuntu 4.14 freshly reinstalled, I:
- install this repository:  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:philip5/extra  (only
this one)
- remove broken packages (with synaptic)
- wait till the update manager allows me to do a partial update
- install Digikam from the launcher

No problems so far... (but didn't make any big moves...)

Just found out that the 'system' offered an update (that I accepted) of exiv2
that actually is a downgrade - it installs 0.23.
But I when I want to remove it (using Synaptic), it also wants the remove lots
of programs involved (including Digikam).

Git commit 2f8ddd42ef62d7aea9e490cdb05ffcc644810c81 by Mario Frank.
Committed on 22/02/2017 at 15:05.
Pushed by mfrank into branch 'master'.

Merged the current state of the garbage collection branch which improves the
database cleanup stage of the maintenance
and improves the reactiveness of the maintenance overall. We ported the way
items are processed to a queue based method
that can use the CPUs more effectively and does not create thousands of
threads.

Potentially, your problems could be solved in the current AppImage as I
restricted the count of threads that are opened in maintenance.

Can you test that?
